I am a licensed clinical social worker and have worked with adults, couples, and adolescents in my practice of psychotherapy for over 35 years. My post-graduate training includes The Family Institute, Northwestern University. My specialties include eating disorders and body image issues, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, stress management and couples therapy. My approach to psychotherapy is psychodynamic (to understand and process past experiences), with the addition of cognitive-behavioral (CBT) and dialectical behavioral (DBT) techniques to help facilitate and maintain positive change. I enjoy working with adolescents 15 and older, and with adults throughout the life-span. I offer a free 20 minute initial phone appointment. I am not in network with insurance, but will reduce my fee in the case of financial need.

As a registered psychotherapist, with an emphasis on Client Centered Therapy, I respect and try to enhance the innate wisdom of the client.

I use these to promote insight, warmth and connection and provide a safe container for healing.
